HAMILTON, ON – For the second straight year, Ontario University Athletics (OUA) will be honouring the top female scholar-athlete from each of the 18 member institutions at a luncheon Thursday, December 2 at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto. As part of the Women of Influence Luncheon Series, the OUA will be recognizing an outstanding young woman from each of the Ontario universities who have excelled both in academics and athletics this past year. Congratulating them on their accomplishments will be one of Canada’s most celebrated international athletes, Charmaine Crooks. The five-time Olympian will be the keynote speaker, addressing the anticipated 1,000 people in attendance on “Passion and Peak Performance”. Ms. Crooks, who came to Canada from Jamaica as a six-year old, is a member of the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Currently, Ms. Crooks sits on the Board of Directors of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee.
